Never mind that its almost a necessity, given the cost of school books, 
the limit on which ones may be available, and the lack of money to 
replace them when outdated (or found to contain incorrect information). 
Its not entirely unheard of for people to be using 50 year old books, 
with gross inaccuracies, and have the school unwilling, or unable, to 
supplement/replace them.
